I just ordered a King Dome Sat dish with 2-LNBF's.
Has anyone installed a dual LNBF dish on a Winnebago (using the existing Winnebago coax location) and pulled in 2 coax and the control cable?
I don't want to cut the hole in the roof unless I am sure I can pull all 3 wires through the ceiling into the entertainment center.

I just had a dual Motosat LNB dish installed in place of my original Winegard single LNB dish. The original wiring enters the roof under the original dish (and we found one wire was not connected when we pulled the oem dish off...no dougt the reason I could never get it to totally work properly). We caulked that hole and covered it with the new dish and mounting bracket. We did not use that wiring/coax. We then drilled a new hole on the top of the front cap and easily pushed one coax through to the inside cabinets behind the center TV, taped the three wires to it, and pulled them all through. We then drilled a hole in the cabinet wall to get it into the cabinets. The new dish came with a little "cap" to put over the wire entry point ...well caulked inside and out.

I have the Kingdome in motion on the roof and on the way home from Iowa the signal was jumping in and out, figured the dome was dirty...

Just got on roof and cleaned the dome with alcohol per instructions on the KD Magic Spray can,then sprayed the heck out of the dome....Signal strngth is in the 90's and seems to have solved the problem, but now the dome has a hazed over and scratched look to it....

I used a whie terry "shop towel cloth (from Sam's Club) and alcohol to clean the dome.....

Have I ruined the dome?
